What's with the ~? I'm not sure, but it seems to result in a cross-reference, and I see tildes used elsewhere, so I guess it's some reST/docutils magic. I left this one in there.

It means display the link with the text "namedtuple" instead of the full "collections.namedtuple". You can't just omit the "collections" as Sphinx needs to know where to find the link target.
